Wait for someone who knows the style, but WTF is with the 1-cent price reduction sticker ??? That would be a major red flag for me - is any US retailer that clueless? Not to mention that it's also upside down.

That style's also old enough to have a creed and serial number - I'd want to see both.

I'll comment on the tag and price.

Often stores will made a small reduction like that as a way to indicate that the item has a further markdown. (For example, at the outlets, in the past, "retail" might show as $398 on the tag but they'd red-line it and mark it as $389, from which they'll offer whatever discount from the marked down price. I suspect that (assuming authenticity), the store showed as minimal reduction as possible but still wanted to make it known that the price is further reduced. I think this might be an outlet price sticker as I believe I've seen it before.
(Does that make sense?)



Regarding the bag, I'm not familiar with the actual bag but from what I see and in comparing to this other listing of the same bag, I don't see any problems.

Yay!! I should probably clarify that I meant the price was too good to be true for a NWT. I'd think there's no way anyone would sell that for less than $500 or $400!

I'm not seeing a picture of the creed. It can't be authenticated without one. You can ask the seller.

I'm seeing the creed. I think it's fine but didn't respond because you know the style better than I:

I agree, it's fine. I don't know if the seller added the creed or if ebay is acting up for me. I was having trouble viewing anything on ebay for about 10 minutes.

ETA: I think there might be an additional hole put in the strap.

Hello kind authenticators, it's been awhile since I posted, I hope you all had great holidays and now a great 2017.
Could you please authenticate this bag I have in my possession, from a thrift shop. TIA
Name: Coach Optic Signature Lurex Demi ?
Size: About 9.5 x 5 x 1 inches
Comments: I had seen this style before and the bag looked real to me, then back home I did a bit research and the ones I am finding, have a different clip and also the strap is different.

It's authentic but I can't find a style number nor another like it with the larger optic signature pattern. I've never seen the trigger clip either though that doesn't mean that the wristlet isn't authentic.. From what I've found, it looks like the other type of clip is more commonly used and is on the mini sig optic pattern items.

Thank you BeenBurned, looks like I found another "rare" bag and this time I didn't even think it was, LOL
The style for the other ones I believe was 8946, I wonder if this one was introduced later...
